Behavior:

Max came to us as an owner surrender due to the owner’s personal problems. According to the owner Max is extremely friendly with strangers, is very sweet with children and plays gently with adults. Max lived a 5 and 8 year old child, and was very loving towards them.

Max walked very well on the leash, and was very interested in interacting with the assessor when entering the behavior room. He allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items while maintaining soft body language. He followed the assessor with soft body language at the end of the leash on the tag interaction. Max proved easy to handle when chewing on the toy item relinquishing it to the assessor with ease. We believe that Max can go to an average adopter at this time.

Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed for a portion of the assessment item.

Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed.

Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed.

Toy 1: 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you.

When off leash with other dogs Max greets politely but spends most of his time wagging and following handlers through the pen to receive pets.
